Remember Your Worth

Dedicated to the First Nations of USA

 

“We’re Worth It Too”

Society may not think we are.

But we are.

 

We are adorned by the stars with turquoise.

Entrusted to keep the land safe.

Looked up to for wisdom.

 

We are Indigenous.

We’ve survived the many faces of death:

drought, disease, and genocide.

We rose up like a rose in the sidewalk,

and bloomed with endurance.

 

Others may call us ugly and inferior.

Remember, we taught people skills,

we should them how to survive.

 

We are so worth more than a pint of beer.

More than a grain of rice.

Remember, we travelled through 4 worlds

and were led by our ancestors to where we are today.

 

Never forget,

You are more than just

“Native American”,

you are Indigenous

and surpassed “Manifest Destiny.”
